Review:"Owner"
Put our unit in new in 1994. The last 7 or 8 years
we have had to have a repair guy out because the unit freezes up.
Apparently it has had a leak in it all this time & the leak is in the
A-Coil & will be a couple of thousand dollars to fix it, that's if
they can even get the part. If we have to replace it all, it will not
be a Tempstar.

Review:"Home Owner"
My air conditioner was new and only worked one year. On the service call
they added freeon. One month later it wouldn't cool anymore. They tested
it and found leaks everywhere within the unit. They replaced the unit
and the new one still needs to be filled with freeon twice a year. They refuse
to test this one. They are junk and should be put out of business. I
would definitely stay away from the Tempstar brand.

Review:"Proper Installation"
I read the reviews by the owners. From the information stated by each
unsatisfied owner, and my 35 years of experience it appears that the
installation in almost all of the systems was the problem. All
manufacturers can have a problem once in awhile. I would recommend any
consumer that is having a problem give the contractor a responsible
amount of time to make the correction. After giving them a chance if
not satisfied get a second opinion. Most of the problems I am seeing
deal with leaks or charging caused by improper installation techniques.
Check with your local municipalities to determine if your contractor
is properly licensed and bonded. There are many installers putting in
all brands of A/C equipment out there that are not qualified. If they
are licensed chances are they are experienced and will due a
professional job.

Review:"Jim and Gina Nelson"
We put a TempStar unit in our house when we built it and have had
nothing but problems from day 1. Every single summer we have to have a
technician come to our home to work on it and unfortunately the dealer
that we purchased this from doesn't seem to have anyone that knows much
about these units. Rather than taking the unit out and replacing it
while under warranty they continued to replace parts one at a time(trial
and error). We cannot afford to purchase another unit at this time so we
just have to keep lining the dealers pockets to have it worked on all of
the time. I would never recommend a TempStar to anyone!!!!!!

Review:"You get what you pay for"
It's a new construction home for the last 2 years I had three circuit
boards replace and charged freon every year. I would not recommend this
brand unit nor Taynor Gardner the installer to anyone

Review:"Tempstar Central A/C"
Very unsatisfied with the performance or I should say non-performance of the Central A/C unit. Constantly have to call the company in for
various problems. On a few occasions they could not even figure out what
the problem was, which runs up the service/labor charge, not to mention
a few new parts. This has probably cost me as much in service calls as it
did to purchase the unit! Never again!!!!!!!

Review:
We purchased a new tempstar, 5 ton unit, model t2a360, in Sept. of 2007.
This replaced a 10 year old Lenox unit that no longer worked and was not
worth repairing. Since we are located in southern California, we get
plenty of hot summer days but since our purchase was near the end of
last summer, there was only 1 day when we tried to use the unit. It
failed to operate and we called for service. Repairs were made and we
assumed all was well. Weather conditions did not call for additional use
until recently, (April of 2008). We tried to use the unit again and it
again failed to work. It merely would kick on and off, without any
cooling. Once again, the service technician made repairs and we thought
all was well. Three weeks went by without a need for the A/C. Then we
got a typical heat wave of over 100 degree temps and tried the unit.
again, it failed to cool and did not run for more than a couple of
minutes. We immediately called and waited another 100 degree day for
service. When the technician diagnosed the problem, he said the unit
will not run and is over heating. How can a unit overheat when it never
even runs? We have had our fill with this unit and will demand a
replacement unit or a full refund to purchase a different brand.

Review:
Just moved into my new home two weeks ago on 3/15/08. I have already had
the installer out three times to work on unit. First it was "short
cycling" then it needed a "freon charge" and the last time some line was
clogged. This unit is brand new!!! I should not have so many problems so
early. I do not recommend and I will never own again.

Review:
I bought a new home in Madison, MS in 1994 with a Tempstar Central Air/Heating unit. The heating unit was a problem after about 3 years and had to have about $1,000 of work done. Now the central a/c has to be recharged with freon at least once a year and has had to be refilled twice this summer and now needs recharging for the third time. Will now have to buy a new unit. It will not be a Tempstar!!!

Review:
After many years of selling central a/c systems, (many many different brands) I have now settled on Tempstar. There dependability, quality, and warranty are at the top. If they continue to maintain this quality, then one day they will be a household name similar to Trane, carrier and Lennox. I am happy selling this product and will continue to do so.
